Put Yourself In Their Shoes Poetry Contest Sponsored by Eve Roper. 08/20/23

I’m sitting with mummy on the door step She’s relaxing as she’s done all the chores Mummy cuddles me because our cat Bep Scratched me so hard with her needle sharp claws I was supposed to play with my mate Mike We sit together each day at playschool Now my arm’s too sore to ride my new bike But we can have fun in our paddling pool So Mike’s coming over to play with me And we can ride our bikes another day Mummy’s said that he can join us for tea I’m just so happy Mike’s coming to play!

Great interpretation of the picture. You gave attention to the little details, like the way mum's looking at the cat, and the bike in the background.

Hope you managed to get this into the contest, Jan. I’ve had some real issues with posting (particularly images) of late. Hopefully it’s all sorted. A sweet write… well of course it is… it’s got a cat in it… prrrrr
